+====== Xiaomi Flora Plant Monitor teardown and analysis ======
 by [[people:emeryth:start|emeryth]] (emeryth at hackerspace.pl)
 This is a teardown and analysis of the Xiaomi flower/plant monitor (it doesn't seem to have an official name).
-It is not extremely in-depth because the main goal was to figure out how to use the device without the official app.

 **Note:** While writing this down, I have found out that I am not the first to publish something about the device ( https://community.home-assistant.io/t/xiaomi-mi-plants-monitor-flower/3388 ) but everything here is my independent work.

 I have no interest in changing the firmware, since you can already get all data you need from the original firmware.
-But if you really want to know, the device supports OTA firmware update and there is a header with SWD on the PCB, although I was unable to connect with the cpu using OpenOCD.
